I don't have a specific need for that right now. However, it does sound
logical to me that you'd want to get all the strings in your application. It
becomes even more reasonable when you run each_object with Thread, to find
out all defined. This doesn't work as well.
But, this is not the most used class out there so I IronRuby will continue
to ROCK despite that.
Thanks for the reply Tomas,
Shay.
